KAT Security Products, Inc. - A subsidiary of KAT Holdings, Inc.


Vehicles are armored to customers exact specifications after careful evaluation to determine their particular needs. We work hard to ensure that the components used are correctly specified to meet the need of the cargo carried. Customers operational procedures are closely studied and reviewed so that vehicles yield maximum safety for both crew and cargo. Different cargos face different threats, and therefore armored trucks require different protection. All of this is taken into account before designers start their work.

You can be sure that the finished vehicle will give the best possible protection for both the crew and the cargo.

Specifications for Vehicles

KAT Security Products, Inc. uses Armormax®, the ultimate in opaque ballistic armor.  The lightest opaque armor in the industry, Armormax® reduces the added opaque on a vehicle by 60%. 

 A combination of a variety of synthetic fibers, Armormax® composite technology is ten times stronger than ballistic steel - pound for pound!

Referred to as Lightweight Transparent Armor or LTA®.  LTA® glass provides a superior level of protection against the toughest security concerns, from random acts of street violence to Head of State protection.   

IAC designed LTA® is:

Distortion-free

Designed to look like conventional automotive glass.

Lighter and thinner than all-glass laminates or air-gap designs.

Unaffected by temperature fluctuations.

Offers dependable protection against a variety of lethal weapons

Bullet Proof Vehicle

"TOMORROW'S TECHNOLOGY IN THE VEHICLES OF TODAY"

Floor Protection

Flexible multi-layered ballistic nylon armor is sealed to the entire floor of the vehicle.   Designed to absorb bomb fragmentation, armor is concealed under the carpet and seats to maintain the original appearance of each vehicle.

Ballistic wrap, Anti-Explosive Fuel Tanks

Are installed on all vehicles as part of our standard package.  Designed to suppress explosions which may occur in the fuel tank.

Anti-Ballistic Battery 

Original batteries are replaced with dry-cell Optima® batteries.  This replacement eliminates the ever present threat of an exploding acid based battery causing serious damage to your engine and making it inoperable.  This is a standard feature in all armoring packages.

See our Protection Levels Table

There are 5 to 6 internationally accepted standards which define levels of protection.  It is, therefore, important that one understands what level of armoring is desired and the perceived threat.  The professionals at KAT Security Products, Inc. help each client determine which is the best level of protection for them. This understanding is important when selecting the right armored car.
